Regulation 6 Internationaal Verdrag van Torremolinos voor de beveiliging van vissersvaartuigen, 1977
- GENERAL PROVISIONS
(1) Every vessel shall be subjected to the surveys specified below:
(a) An initial survey before the vessel is put into service or before the certificate required under Regulation 7 is issued for the first time, which shall include a complete survey ofits structure, stability, machinery, arrangements and material, including the outside of the vessel's hull and the inside and outside of the boilers and equipment in so far as the vessel is covered by this Annex. This survey shall be such as to ensure that the arrangements, material, and scantlings of the structure, boilers, and other pressure vessels and their appurtenances, main and auxiliary machinery, electrical installations, radio installations, radiotelegraph installations in motor lifeboats, portable radio apparatus for survival craft, emergency position-indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), life-saving appliances, fire detecting and extinguishing systems, radar, echosounding devices, gyro-compasses and other equipment fully comply with the requirements of this Annex. The survey shall also be such as to ensure that the workmanship of all parts of the vessel and its equipment is in all respects satisfactory and that the vessel is provided with the lights, means of making sound signals and distress signals, required by this Annex and the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea in force. Where pilot ladders are carried these shall also be surveyed to ensure that they are in a safe working condition and comply with the relevant requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea in force.
(b) Periodical surveys at intervals specified below:
(i) four years in the case of the structure and machinery of the vessel referred to in Chapters II, III, IV, V and VI. However, the period may be extended for one year subject to the vessel being surveyed internally or externally as far as it is reasonable and practicable;
(ii) two years in the case of the equipment of the vessel referred to in Chapters II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and X; and
(iii) one year in the case of the radio installations and radio direction-finder of the vessel referred to in Chapters IX and X.
The survey shall be such as to ensure that the items referred to in sub-paragraph (a), in particular the safety equipment, fully comply with the applicable requirements of this Annex, that the said equipment is in good working order and that the stability information is readily available on board. However, where the duration of the certificate issued under Regulation 7 is extended as specified in Regulation 11(2) or (4), the interval of the periodical survey may be extended correspondingly.
(c) Intermediate surveys in the case of the structure of machinery and equipment of the vessel at intervals specified by the Administration. The survey shall also be such as to ensure that alterations which would adversely affect the safety of the vessel or the crew have not been made. Such intermediate surveys and their intervals shall be endorsed on the International Fishing Vessel Safety Certificate issued under Regulation 7.
(2) Surveys of the vessel with a view to the enforcement of the requirements of this Annex shall be carried out by officers of the Administration. The Administration may, however, entrust the surveys either to surveyors nominated for the purpose or to organizations recognized by it. In every case the Administration concerned shall be satisfied with regard to the completeness and efficiency of the surveys.
(3) After any survey of the vessel under this Regulation has been completed, no significant change shall be made to the structure, equipment, fittings, arrangements or material covered by the survey without the sanction of the Administration, except the direct replacement of such equipment or fittings.
